box of frozen spinach (as much of all of this, organic)

The brightest deep yellow candles here

are from St. Tikhon's.

When I got them, I was dazzled by 

how bright they were,

I kept telling Mr. Husband they

were like liquid sunshine.

However, really they are 'solidified sunshine' as the wax

is not melting :)

These will last me a long time, of course

and it is so so wonderful to have

candles to light by my icons for prayer.

We are in the middle of the Apostles Fast,

so vegan eating as health allows

and seeking to go towards health

through prayer, ordered eating and being aware

of what day it is.

I find reading daily stories of Saints

a great lift and orientation to me

in terms of eternal reality:

our days are full of the past, of heroes of the faith,

of Saints, a great cloud of witnesses!
